US President Joe Biden's top military advisor and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Q. Brown, stated that finding a solution for the war on Gaza could potentially prevent the public from leaning more towards the Palestinian Resistance. 

He did not however mention the resolution being a ceasefire.

Brown continued that "Israel's" aim for its military in Gaza, which would be the complete destruction of Hamas, was "a pretty large order." In turn, he added that "Israel's" main target is the senior leadership of Hamas, which he thought was easier to achieve. 

"I think the longer this goes, the harder it can become," he told reporters before landing in Japan on Thursday.

Grave consequences

Brown's statement may come as contradictory, taking into consideration a recent report by Politico that the US does not intend to end the war on Gaza. 

"The US agrees with Israel’s goal of destroying Hamas even if it’s not entirely clear what that will ultimately look like," the report reads. 

According to Politico, the US supports the Israeli objective of annihilating the Palestinian Resistance, despite the grave humanitarian costs, not only out of regard for their Israeli ally but also because annihilating the Palestinian Resistance is an American interest just as much as it is an Israeli interest. 

"What’s not said in public: Destroying — or at least degrading Hamas — is in the US interest on multiple levels," the report reads.

The news website pointed out that the reasons Washington is not putting effort to end the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, is because:

  • The US perceives Hamas as being an "Iranian proxy" and thus sees the annihilation of Hamas as a scored victory against Iran.
  •  The US perceives Hamas as a "destabilizing force" in the Middle East which threatens US regional interests.
  • Hamas opposes the US-proposed compromise of a two-state solution.
